James Case

Until his elimination in Barcelona, James Case was shaping up to be one of BacheloretteDesiree Hartsock's hottest contestants! This sensitive dream boat hails from Chicago, Illinois, and graduated with a degree from Miami University in Ohio — where he played football. In fact, James dreams of being an NFL head coach someday!

This 27-year-old stud works in advertising for BankRate and is the co-owner / CMO at Fluid Life International, so yeah — we're thinking he brings home the bacon. But even better? James is a total romantic, and says that he'd love to settle down with a confident woman who has a good "relationship with her spirituality."

Unfortunately, after many guys in the house (read: all of them) questioned whether James was there for the right reasons, Des sent him packing in at the end of Season 9 Episode 6. We're sure he'll bounce back in no time!

James was given his moment in the “hot seat” on this season’s Men Tell All, and he chose to spend his time arguing that he was on the show for, indeed, the right reasons. Between keeping up the lie he lived on his last episode of The Bachelorette, he also went so far as to request an APOLOGY from some of his fellow contestants! Much to his dismay, James’ Case (see what we did there?) wasn’t helped much by Mike Tenerelli’s “I don’t really remember what happened that night” testimony, and Kasey Stewart’s accusatory mustache-wiggling prompted an explosion from Mikey that showed him and James both in a very negative light yet again.
